Description

Please join Gladney University as we welcome Dr. Margaret Dempsey and Dr. Tracy Harrington from the Child Study Center to present their seminar designed to help us better understand common concerns in children. This presentation should help us advocate better for families in crisis as well as provide us with better understanding in our personal lives as parent. In this training, the presenters will discuss:

When to be concerned versus "wait and see" -- what guideposts we use to discuss these with parents

Guidelines for when to seek professional advice

The primary presentation will last 45 minutes or so to allow extra time at the end for any questions you may have.
